\item[Helpview]
\item[{\bf Helpview}]
Helpview is a program for displaying wxWindows HTML
Help files. In many cases, you may wish to use the wxWindows HTML
Help classes from within your application, but this provides a
handy stand-alone viewer. See \helpref{wxHTML Notes}{wxhtml} for more details.
You can find it in \verb$samples/html/helpview$.

\item[{\bf Tex2RTF}]
Supplied with wxWindows is a utility called Tex2RTF for converting\rtfsp
\LaTeX\ manuals HTML, MS HTML Help, wxHTML Help, RTF, and Windows
Help RTF formats. Tex2RTF is used for the wxWindows manuals and can be used independently

\item[Helpgen]
\item[{\bf Helpgen}]
Helpgen takes C++ header files and generates a Tex2RTF-compatible
documentation file for each class it finds, using comments as appropriate.
This is a good way to start a reference for a set of classes.
\item[Dialog Editor]
\item[{\bf Dialog Editor}]
Dialog Editor allows interactive construction of dialogs using

in favour of sizer-based tools. You can find Dialog Editor
in \verb$utils/dialoged$.
\item[XRC resource system]
\item[{\bf XRC resource system}]
This is the sizer-aware replacement for the WXR resource system, and uses
XML-based resource specifications that can be generated by tools
such as \urlref{wxDesigner}{http://www.roebling.de} and XRC's own wxrcedit.
You can find this in \verb$contrib/src/xrc$, \verb$contrib/include/wx/xrc$, \verb$contrib/samples/xrc$, and \verb$contrib/utils/wxrcedit$.
For more information, see the \helpref{XML-based resource system overview}{xrcoverview}.
\item[Object Graphics Library]
\item[{\bf Object Graphics Library}]
OGL defines an API for applications that need to display objects connected by lines.
The objects can be moved around and interacted with.

\item[Gizmos library]
\item[{\bf Gizmos library}]
Gizmos is a collection of useful widgets and other classes. Classes include wxLEDNumberCtrl,
wxEditableListBox, wxMultiCellCanvas.
You can find this in \verb$contrib/src/fl$, \verb$contrib/include/wx/fl$, and \verb$contrib/samples/fl$.
\item[Net library]
\item[{\bf Net library}]
Net is a collection of very simple mail and web related classes. Currently
there is only wxEmail, which makes it easy to send email messages via MAPI on Windows or sendmail on Unix.
You can find this in \verb$contrib/src/net$ and \verb$contrib/include/wx/net$.
\item[Animate library]
\item[{\bf Animate library}]
Animate allows you to load animated GIFs and play them on a window. The library can be extended
to use other animation formats.
You can find this in \verb$contrib/src/animate$, \verb$contrib/include/wx/animate$, and \verb$contrib/samples/animate$.
\item[Canvas library]
\item[{\bf Canvas library}]
Canvas supports high-level, double-buffered drawing operations with transformations.
You can find this in \verb$contrib/src/canvas$, \verb$contrib/include/wx/canvas$, and \verb$contrib/samples/canvas$.
\item[MMedia library]
\item[{\bf MMedia library}]
Mmedia supports a variety of multimedia functionality. The status of this library is currently unclear.

\subsection{XRC file format}\label{xrcfileformat}
This section to be written.
\subsubsection{Introduction to the XRC file format}\label{xrcfileformatintro}
This note describes the file format used for storing XRC resources that are
used by wxXmlResource class. It is probably only useful for those implementing
dialog editors with XRC support, or for those writing XRC files by hand.
If you only want to use the resources, you can choose from a number of editors,
as listed in \helpref{XRC concepts}{xrcconcepts}.
The XRC format is based on XML 1.0 (please consult W3C's specification). There
is no DTD available since it is not possible to fully describe the format with
the limited expressive power of DTDs.
\subsubsection{XRC terminology}\label{xrcterminology}
The usual XML terminology applies. In particular, we shall use the terms
{\it node}, {\it property} and {\it value} in the XML sense:
\begin{verbatim}
<node property1="value1" property2="value2">...</node>
\end{verbatim}
The term "attribute" is specific to XRC and refers to a property-less subnode
of an <object> or <object_ref> node. In the example bellow, <pos>, <label> and
<style> are attributes, while neither <resource> nor either of <object>s is:
\begin{verbatim}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8">
<resource version="2.3.0.1">
<object class="wxPanel">
<style>wxSUNKEN_BORDER</style>
<object class="wxStaticText">
<label>A label</label>
<pos>10,10</pos>
</object>
</object>
</resource>
\end{verbatim}
\subsubsection{XRC format high-level description}
An XRC resource file is a well-formed XML 1.0 document.
The root node of XRC document must be <resource>. The <resource> node has
optional {\it version} property. Default version (in absence of the version
property) is "0.0.0.0". The version consists of four integers separated by
periods. Version of XRC format changes only if there was an incompatible
change introduced (i.e. either the library cannot understand old resource
files or older versions of the library wouldn't understand the new format).
The first three integers are major, minor and release number of the wxWindows
release when the change was introduced, the last one is revision number and
is 0 for the first incompatible change in given wxWindows release, 1 for
the second, and so on.
Differences between versions are described within this document in paragraphs
entitled {\it Version Note}.
The <resource> node is only allowed to have <object> and <object_ref>
subnodes, all of which must have the "name" property.
<object> - TODO (name, class, subclass)
<object_ref> - TODO (name, ref, subclass)
\subsubsection{Common XRC attributes}
Coming soon.
\subsubsection{Supported classes}
